Follow these steps to create persistent links to entries in the Access Science database:
Start at the Library's A-Z Databases page:
- Go to the Access Science database.
- Search for a topic and find an entry you like.
- Click on the title of the entry to bring up the full record.
- Click on the blue Link icon to open the persistent link dropdown (located with Save, Cite, Email, Print, Share links; see screenshot below).
- Copy the URL for the persistent link (the remote access info is already included in the URL) to the clipboard.
Then go to your Canvas shell:
- Within a text editor box, paste in the persistent link, OR
- Within a Module, create a new External Link and paste in the persistent link as the URL. Make sure to check the box for the Load in a new tab option. Why?
Example Persistent Link:
